Description
The research leading to this invention was made with government support under Contract No. N00014-01-1-1042 awarded by the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research. The U.S. government may have certain rights in the invention.
Metal-containing polymers are attracting significant interest as these materials may combine the processability and mechanical properties of polymers with the unique optoelectronic properties of metal complexes. The development of metal-containing polymers with unique property profiles has been propelled by their potential use in diverse areas such as solar energy conversion, anti-corrosion, luminescent sensing, electroluminescence display, biotechnology, molecular machines, and molecular electronics. Thus, a number of metal-containing polymers, whose metal moiety is in either the polymer backbone or the side chain, have been reported in the literature. In particular, metal-containing polymers with well-defined architectures are currently under extensive investigation.
As polymerization has been utilized to construct new materials that serve to replace or improve naturally occurring materials, methods have been developed to control the parameters of the chemical processes used to produce the polymers. Control of these permits the preparation of polymers having specific technical requirements. Polymerization thermodynamics and kinetics are well understood and provide a wide array of options for conducting polymerization reactions, i.e., free radical polymerization reactions.
Currently, various polymerization techniques such as atom transfer polymerization (ATRP), ring-opening polymerization (ROP), nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization and reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) are used for preparation of metal-containing macromolecules. However, both ATRP and ROP are successful only for a limited number of monomers and suffer from a number of disadvantages such as high reaction temperature and expensive reagents that are sometimes difficult to separate from the products. Moreover, RAFT polymerization can lead to colored polymers with long time consumption. Therefore, conventional free radical polymerization still possesses great potential from an industrial standpoint.
It is well known that an initiator plays an important role in radical polymerization since it determines the polymerization rate, the molecular weight, and other characteristics of polymers. Many ethylenically unsaturated monomers are polymerized by the use of free radical initiators, e.g., those having aliphatic azo or peroxide groups. However, the azo initiator is most commonly used because of its favorable kinetics of decomposition. Particularly, the functionality of the polymer chain ends derived from the used initiator can affect or alter the properties of the polymers.
Most synthetic approaches for the preparation of metal-containing polymers, however, have involved the construction of systems with broad molecular weight distributions and lack of control over polymer architecture. Therefore, it would, therefore, be desirable to provide a compound that is capable of initiating the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers to produce polymers having ligand terminal groups, which can subsequently complex with metal ions to form supramolecular materials.
Described herein are ligand-functionalized/azo compounds and methods of use thereof. The advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the aspects described below. The advantages described below will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate several aspects described below. Like numbers represent the same elements throughout the figures.
Before the present compounds, compositions, and/or methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the aspects described below are not limited to specific compounds, synthetic methods, or uses as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting.
In this specification and in the claims that follow, reference will be made to a number of terms that shall be defined to have the following meanings:
It must be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a pharmaceutical carrier” includes mixtures of two or more such carriers, and the like.
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, the phrase “optionally substituted lower alkyl” means that the lower alkyl group can or cannot be substituted and that the description includes both unsubstituted lower alkyl and lower alkyl where there is substitution.
The term “independently” when referring to two or more particular R groups present in a formula refers to any combination of variables listed for that particular R group. For example, in the formula —NRR′, where R and R′ are, independently, hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl, any combination of R and R′ is contemplated. Thus, for example, when R is hydrogen, R′ can be hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl.
Ranges may be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight, of a particular element or component in a composition or article, denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound.
A weight percent of a component, unless specifically stated to the contrary, is based on the total weight of the formulation or composition in which the component is included.
Variables such as R1, R2, R3, R4, L, L1, L2, M, R, X, Y, Z, LG, m, n, and o used throughout the application are the same variables as previously defined unless stated to the contrary.
Disclosed are compounds, compositions, and components that can be used for, can be used in conjunction with, can be used in preparation for, or are products of the disclosed methods and compositions. These and other materials are disclosed herein, and it is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutation of these compounds may not be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. Thus, if a class of molecules A, B, and C are disclosed as well as a class of molecules D, E, and F and an example of a combination molecule, A-D is disclosed, then even if each is not individually recited, each is individually and collectively contemplated.

Described herein are compounds useful in the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers to produce polymers comprising at least one ligand. In one aspect, the compound comprises at least one azo group and at least one ligand, wherein the ligand comprises at least one heteroaryl group or a heterocycloalkyl group.
The term “azo group” is defined herein as a moiety having the structure —N═N—.
The term “ligand” is defined herein as any group that can coordinate with a metal ion through a Lewis acid/base interaction. For example, the ligand can be a Lewis base and coordinate with a transition metal (Lewis base). Similarly, the ligand can be a Lewis acid as well that coordinates with a transition metal acting as a Lewis base. Alternatively, the ligand is capable of forming covalent bonds. For example, an amine can be deprotonated to form an amide, which can subsequently react with a transition metal to form a metal-amide complex.
The term “heteroaryl group” as used herein is an aromatic group that has at least one heteroatom incorporated within the ring of the aromatic group. Alternatively, the term “heteroaryl group” also covers aromatic groups that have one or more heteroatoms pendant or attached to the aromatic ring. Finally, the term “heteroaryl group” also covers aromatic groups that have one or more heteroatoms incorporated within the aromatic ring as well as one or more heteroatoms pendant or attached to the aromatic ring. Examples of heteroatoms include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The heteroaryl group can be substituted or unsubstituted. The heteroaryl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, alkynyl, alkenyl, aryl, halide, nitro, amino, ester, ketone, aldehyde, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, or alkoxy. It is contemplated that the heteroaryl group can be a fused system (e.g., 1,10-phenanthroline), or two or more heteroaryl groups attached to one another by one or more covalent bonds (e.g., bipyridine), or a combination thereof.
The term “heterocycloalkyl group” as used herein is a non-aromatic ring that has at least one heteroatom incorporated within the ring of the ring. Alternatively, the term “heterocycloalkyl group” also covers rings that have one or more heteroatoms pendant or attached to the non-aromatic ring. Finally, the term “heterocycloalkyl group” also covers rings that have one or more heteroatoms incorporated within the ring as well as one or more heteroatoms pendant or attached to the ring. Examples of heteroatoms include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The heteroaryl group can be substituted or unsubstituted. The heterocycloalkyl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, alkynyl, alkenyl, aryl, halide, nitro, amino, ester, ketone, aldehyde, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, or alkoxy.

In another aspect, the ligand is a heteroaryl group, wherein the heteroaryl aryl group comprises at least one nitrogen atom. In one aspect, the ligand is a heteroaryl group, wherein the ligand comprises two or three nitrogen atoms.

The solvents were removed under vacuum, and CH2Cl2 was added. The precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness under vacuum, and then 300 ml of CH2Cl2-hexane mixture solvents (1:12, v/v) was added. The precipitate was filtered, and dried, and further purified by column chromatography (Al2O3) using ethyl acetate-hexane (3:2, v/v) as eluent to give pure product (0.763 g, 46%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ=8.64 (m, 12H), 7.85 (m, 8H), 7.47 (m, 4H), 7.30 (m, 4H), 5.20 (s, 4H, —CH2—O—C(O)—), 2.65-2.48(m,8H, —OOC—CH2CH2—), 1.69(m, 6H, =N—C(CN)—CH3).

A 14 g (50.0 mmol) sample of 4,4′-Azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid) was carefully added to a suspension of 52.0 g (249.7 mmol) of PCl5 in 100 ml of CH2Cl2 under ice cooling. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. Excess PCl5 was filtered off. The volume was reduced to 20% by evaporating CH2Cl2, whereby more PCl5 precipitated as a yellow solid, which again was filtered off. The product was isolated by slowly pouring the filtrate into 150 ml of ice-cold n-hexane, filtering off, washing with ice cold n-hexane, and drying in a vacuum, yield 11.70 g target product. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ=3.18-3.00 (m, 4H, CH2CO), 2.60-2.46 (m, 4H, CH2C), 1.76 and 1.69 (s each, 6H total, CH3). 13C-NMR (CDCl3): δ=172.1, 116.8, 71.3, 41.6, 32.9, 23.5.
This compound was synthesized by the reduction of 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline. The procedure was manipulated under argon. To a suspension of 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (2.06 g, 9.0 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (0.280 g) in 90 ml of 95% EtOH, hydrazine hydrate (2.0 ml, 42 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was heated for 3 h at 70° C. and then filtered hot through a glass-fiber filter to remove the catalyst. The yellow solution was concentrated to 25 ml and left at 4° C. for 24 hours. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with cold Et2O, and dried under vacuum for 24 hours to give 1.425 g of product (81%). 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ=9.08 (m, 1H), 8.71 (m, 2H), 8.06 (m, 1H), 7.75 (q, 1H), 7.52 (q, 1H), 6.90 (s, 1H), 6.17 ppm (d, NH2). 13C-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ=149.3, 146.2, 144.8, 142.7, 140.5, 132.7, 130.8, 123.2, 122.0, 101.8 ppm.
A 500-ml two-necked flask fitted a reflux condenser was charged with 607 mg (3.109 mmol) of 1,10-phenanthroline-5-amine, dried methylene chloride (160 ml) and dried THF (80 ml). The mixture was heated until the complete dissolution of 1,10-Phenanthroline-5-amine, and then cooled to room temperature. After removal of the condenser, dried triethylamine (0.60 ml) was added to the cooled solution, and followed the dropwise addition of a solution of 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid chloride) in 30 ml of CH2Cl2-THF (2:1, v/v) mixture solvents under stirring. The resulting mixture was continuously stirred under argon for 72 hours. All solvents were removed under reduced pressure, and then water was added. The resulting mixture was adjusted to pH 8 with 1% NaOH solution, and stirred at room temperature overnight. The precipitate was collected by centrifugation separation, and dried in an oven with P2O5 under vacuum. The dried precipitate was washed with CH2Cl2 to give crude product. The crude product was dissolved in MeOH—CHCl3 (1:5, v/v) mixture solvents to a solution. The solution was added dropwise into excess acetone-hexane (1:1, v/v) mixture solvents, and the precipitate was collected by centrifugation separation to give pure product (136 mg, 23%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3—CD3OD, 5:2): δ=8.97 (q, 4H), 8.37 (d, 2H), 8.00 (d, 2H), 7.93 (s, 2H), 7.50 (m, 4H), 2.87-2.54 (m, 8H), 1.80 (s, 6H).

Materials
2,2′-Azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN, 97%, Aldrich) was purified by recrystallization from methanol and stored in a freezer. Styrene (99%, Aldrich) was purified by washing with an aqueous solution of NaOH (5 wt %) to remove inhibitor, followed by distilled water until the washings were neutral to litmus and fractionally distilled under vacuum. CTA1 was synthesized according to the procedure described previously. CTA2 and the initiator TPY-AIBN was synthesized using the techniques described in Example 1.
1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker ARX400 spectrometer at 400 Hz and 100 MHz, respectively. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was carried out on a Viscotek SEC assembly consisting of a model P1000 pump, a model T60 dual detector, a model LR40 laser refractometer and three mixed bed columns (pore size: 10 μm, the molecular weight range for those columns is 1,000-5,000,000) from America Polymer Standards Corporation using THF as an eluent with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1 at ambient temperature. Polymer concentrations for SEC experiments were prepared in concentrations of about 3.0 mg/mL. The SEC system was calibrated using a narrow polystyrene standard (Mn=9870, Mw=10300, Mp=10300, Mw/Mn=1.04). As routine analysis, MALDI-TOF-MS was performed using 1,8-dihydroxy-9(10OH)-anthracenone (dithranol) or α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as a matrix in the absence of cationic agents in the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory of Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA.
RAFT Polymerization of Styrene
Styrene (2.660 g, 25.54 mmol), TPY-AIBN (22.0 mg, 2.38×10−2 mmol) and CTA1 (56.0 mg, 1.18×10−1 mmol) were mixed to give a clear solution. The solution was transferred into an ampule and degassed through five freeze-thaw-evacuate cycles, sealed under vacuum, and heated at 65° C. for 6 h. The polymerization mixture was poured into a large excess of methanol to precipitate the resulting polymer. The polymer was purified by reprecipitation three times from 1,4-dioxane into a large excess of methanol, and then dried under vacuum at room temperature to yield 0.240 g of a pink polymer PS-1. The conversion of the monomer styrene was determined to be 6.9% by gravimetrical method.
PS-2 was similarly prepared as described above using the following reagent loadings. Styrene (2.660 g, 25.54 mmol), AIBN (4.0 mg, 2.44×10−2 mmol) and CTA2 (38.0 mg, 1.18×10−1 mmol). Polymerization time: 5 h. Yield: 0.158 g, Conversion: 4.5%.
The two RAFT-prepared polystyrene polymers, PS-1 and PS-2, were characterized by both 1H and 13C NMR techniques. Their 1H-NMR spectra both show the appearance of signals located at 4.60-5.20 and 7.84 ppm attributed to the proton of the methine group adjacent to the sulfur and aromatic protons of the active end group (Ph-C(═S)—S—) from the RAFT agent, CTA1 and CTA2, respectively. The existence of the active Ph-C(═S)—S— group at one end of the polymer chain was further confirmed by the appearance of two signals located at 52.40-54.00 and 226.04 ppm assigned to the backbone CH carbon next to sulfur and the C═S carbon, respectively, in their 13C-NMR spectra. Terpyridine and bipyridine functional endgroups derived from RAFT agents, CTA1 and CTA2, were also present in their corresponding polystyrene polymers as observed by their characteristic peaks in 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra.
The molecular weights and molecular weight distributions of the two polystyrene polymers were determined by SEC to be Mn=3340 g/mol; Mw/Mn=1.09 for PS-1, and Mn=2080 g/mol; Mw/Mn=1.10 for PS-2. Their 1H-NMR-determined molecular weights (Mn=2230 g/mole for PS-1 and 1470 g/mol for PS-2) are in good agreement with theoretically calculated values (Mn=2040 g/mole for PS-1 and 1340 g/mol PS-2).
The two RAFT-prepared polystyrene polymers, PS-1 and PS-2, were further analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS technique. Their expanded MALDI-TOF-MS spectra are shown in FIGS. 3 a and 4 a, with theoretical monoisotropic distributions of each cluster in FIGS. 3 b and 4 b. Several series peaks are observed, all corresponding to a molar mass distribution of polystyrene with 104.15 u between the peaks. For a given series and a given degree of polymerization, the multiplicity of the peak corresponds to the isotopic distribution, which is a function of the various atoms existing in the structure, including the proton. However, some unexpected polymer chain endgroups were produced during the course of the MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. For example, the Ph-C(═S)—S-terminated polystyrene chains were promptly fragmented to produce vinyl endgroups (Equation 1 in Scheme 4). Since evidence of unsaturation is not seen in the 1H-NMR data, it is therefore proposed that this species is produced within the mass spectrometer. The loss of HS—C(═S)—Ph in such a manner is a known fragmentation route in MS due to the weakness of the C—S bond between the polymer chain and dithiobenzoate chain end.
In addition to the occurrence of fragmentation, the terpyridine and dithiobenzoate end groups were also oxidized during the MALDI process (Equations 2 and 3 in Scheme 4). Considering that the three types of side-reactions originated from MALDI itself, we elucidated the two MALDI-TOF-MS spectra shown in FIGS. 3 a and 4 a and summarized the results in Tables 1 and 2.
